Hodgdon CFE Pistol, just like its rifle powder counterpart CFE 223, greatly deters copper fouling. The proprietary “copper fouling eraser” chemistry, or CFE, was developed for rapid-fire military systems. Whatever your game may be, from top gun competitor to target plinker, you will see longer periods of top accuracy with less barrel cleaning and minimal muzzle flash. You may find 103 loads at the Hodgon Reloading Data Center (hodgdon.com) for CFE Pistol with 37 bullet weights, including 9mm Luger, .38 Super, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and many more. CFE Pistol is a spherical powder that meters with superior uniformity. Price $20.99 for 1 pound; also available in 8-pound cannisters. Contact: Hodgdon Powder Co., Dept.

Biffle Big Bug comes rigged on a 1-ounce Biffle HardHead for a deadly bass combo. This newest and largest 5-inch version of the Biffle Bug features the same hollow body, cupped tail and swimming legs that can be left on or pinched off. The Owner 6/0 Wide Gap Plus hook is loosely attached to the jighead on a wire loop so it swings freely, essentially making the bug and head combo work like a soft-plastic crankbait being fished along the bottom. Package of two big HardHeads retails for around $7; package of six Big Bugs sells for about $6.49. Contact: Gene Larew Lures, Dept.
